Love the low angle and the excellent detail - and a wonderful species, a rarity in my area.

What an interesting butterfly, looks like tree bark or lichen covered rock face. Well done.

I have never seen one of these - at least that I know of. Due to its camo I cold have missed a lot of them. Great image showing the camo and subtle colors.

Such interesting coloration- Love this in combination with you "other side" photo. Amazing camouflage strategy.
